Dubstep is a recent trend in music that is very similar to techno. Its electronic score and mixed sound beats could put it in a class of its own, or they could put it in the same musical bracket as techno. But does dubstep really stand out as its own musical genre? Can it really be considered music at all?

Music is defined as the mixture of vocals and sounds combined in such a way so as to produce expression of emotion, harmony, and emotion. In the technical sense of the word, dubstep does not meet the technical definition of music. Dubstep is almost purely electronic, with very few exceptions. It isn’t about expressing an emotion, as much as it is about creating a good dance beat, generally to appease a club audience.

It is difficult to separate dubstep from techno

Dubstep could actually be considered an evolved form of techno music. Techno was first defined as an electronic style of music, which is also how dubstep is defined. Dubstep also has strong bass lines and sparse syncopated rhythms. Techno itself evolved into several varieties, and while the techno that started in Detroit is largely considered the original techno, it cold be argued that dubstep is just another form of techno music.

There is one thing that is certain. Whether dubstep is its own musical genre, or is in a category by itself, dubstep has become increasingly popular. It is still up in the air as to whether or not dubstep will stand the ultimate test of time. At least for now, it is intensely popular on the club scene.

It used to be that radios were only restricted to cars, home, and walkmans. Now, radio has made it to a whole new crop of listeners. The online ones. Internet radio has boosted in popularity in the past ten years. There are radio phone apps, like Slacker and Pandora, and these apps can also be opened on a computer or internet capable TV. Listeners literally have the entire world to connect with.

Listeners don’t have to remissness about a good radio show, anymore. Now they can download podcasts. These are recordings of radio shows and talk shows. Radio stations will list them on a downloads page. Searchers can find the shows they want, listed frequently by show name and date. After a quick download, people can listen to their favorite radio program on a phone, computer, or tablet. To today’s radio listener, portability is crucial.

If that isn’t enough, listeners should know that now radio is customizable. People can “like” or “dislike” a track, and they can block a track that they dislike. Tracks can also be shared on social networking sites, so friends can see and experience what their friends are listening to. Radio listeners can also buy their favorite tracks and download them to their phones, computers, or tablets. This makes a favorite artist, song, or playlist more accessible to listeners and those they want to share their music with.

Radio has become far more intimate than anyone could have imagined. It has come very far since stories, live music, and commercials done by radio announcers. One might wonder how much more radio will change and how much more personal it will become. One thing is for certain, though, it s changing with the times.
